I Will Love You Lyrics And Chords
Written by Tom Paxton.Made famous in Ireland by ''The Fureys'' [What a band] Some of the chords here are ''fillers'' and don't need to be played , but the song will sound more intresting if they are played. Also recorded by Tickle The Pig who are an Irish folk band and whose youtube video I have used for this song. Well done lads, great version. The tin whistle sheet music notes are included, I had a go at playing it on whistle and must admit it's one of the easiest songs I ever played on whistle. When Tom Paxton recorded this song he called it ''Every Time'' and the Fureys called it ''I Will Love You''.
Every[D] time I[G] hear a sweet bird[D] singing
I[A7] think of you and[D] I my love , I[A7] think of you and[D] I
And [D]when I hear the[G] evening bells a[D] ringing
I[A7] hang my head and[D] cry my love , I[A7] hang my head and[D] cry
[Chorus]
I[D] will love you[D7],, , I will love[G] you,,,[D],,,[A] when[A7] we are[D] gone
I[D] will love you , I will love[G],,,[D],,,Em],,,A7] you , when we are [D]gone
Every time I hear a sofe voice humming
My heart jumps in my breast my love
My heart jumps in my breast
And until I hear your footsteps coming
My heart can know no rest my love
My heart can know no rest
I will love you , I will love you
I will love you , when we are gone
I[A7] think of you and[D] I my love , I[A7] think of you and[D] I
And [D]when I hear the[G] evening bells a[D] ringing
I[A7] hang my head and[D] cry my love , I[A7] hang my head and[D] cry
[Chorus]
I[D] will love you[D7],, , I will love[G] you,,,[D],,,[A] when[A7] we are[D] gone
I[D] will love you , I will love[G],,,[D],,,Em],,,A7] you , when we are [D]gone
Every time I hear a sofe voice humming
My heart jumps in my breast my love
My heart jumps in my breast
And until I hear your footsteps coming
My heart can know no rest my love
My heart can know no rest
I will love you , I will love you
I will love you , when we are gone
The D note in the chorus is in the second octave which as you know you'll have to blow a bit harder. The other D notes are low. The three notes together on the word ''You'' are really needed to make the song more interesting, this is usually called ornamentation when playing whistle.
